Over the past two days I’ve dug over, fed and raked the soon-to-be spud and rhubarb bed (I have the “old gardeners’ hands and back” to prove it), planted the first tray of seeds indoors – mangetout, peas, runner beans, lettuce, onions, sweet peas and livingstone daisies – and reseeded the bare patch on the lawn, which the chicks found very interesting. The spud bed now looks like this …
which may not look that impressive but it took hours to get it to look like that! I couldn’t do anything with the nearest corner as the bed rock is just under the surface.
I know I ought to be repotting tomatoes, planting the garlic bulb, making a start on the ‘potager garden’ (I do like the sound of that!) and planting the 122 bulbs we bought at the weekend, but I also ought to walk Sam and Meg the five miles, then back, to our nearest Post Office to post an eBay item I’ve just sold. Decisions! Decisions!
